This Is My Favorite Scene from The American Astronaut

I watched it this afternoon, and while the plot is too unresolved and the crazy professor narrator seems kind of one-dimensional, this movie is visually quite stunning, and the director/writer/star, Cory McAbee, did a great job of marrying image to sound in this interesting little film, which I think borrows a bit from David Lynch and Sam Shepard. There's this bit about how the narrator can't kill anyone he would like to kill until his problem with his target is resolved, because otherwise, the problem will go on indefinitely. Now that's cool! This movie is definitely worth seeing, and then seeing again, so check it out.



I had a good day today, mostly because I had a job interview. I have absolutely no idea whether or not I'll land the job. I want it, I really really do!, but my gut tells me to not get my hopes up. So tomorrow I'll buy a bunch of Halloween candy to hand out, then I'll go running (I'm working my way up to 3.5 miles a day!), then I'll get back to searching for work.

November 4th is just around the corner. Isn't it exciting?
